Cardno Latin America

In 2019, the Cardno Entrix team conducted archaeological research in different areas of the Sucumbíos province, located in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

The gathering of information in the field included prospecting and archeological reconnaissance, which required the participation of local guides. These guides were previously trained to identify, recover, register and manipulate archaeological objects; promoting the economic development of the localities and reinforcing their cultural knowledge about the pre-Hispanic population that inhabited the place of study.

This past June, Edgar Paucar, Environmental Monitor at Cardno Latin America, worked along with two other people from the wildlife rescue brigade team, to rescue and release a caiman crocodilus that was trapped in a platform in the Sucumbios Province in Ecuador.

On February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our collaborators who are female engineers, biologists, and other disciplines that contribute toward conducting our socio-environmental services, fundamentally linked to science. Thanks to you, we help advance corporate social and environmental responsibility within the countries in which we operate. We are proud of our team, of which 43% are women!

On the 4th and 5th of June we celebrated World Environment day by participating in a two-day workshop on Water and Hazardous Materials Management at the Hotel Sevilla de Oro in Shushufindi, Ecuador. The event was organized by the Shushufindi Consortium and counted with the participation of entities such as Shushufindi Consortium, Schlumberger, Petroamazonas EP, ISA, PECS, and Cardno Latin America.

On September 20, 2019, the employees and employers held elections for leadership positions within the company’s Labor Committee, 2019 - 2020 period.
Employees voted for their representatives, whom will be in charge of communicating their needs and requirements to senior management, as well as to the human resources department, in order to improve working conditions, companionship and teamwork.

The first workshop organized by the Latin American Drilling Safety Association (LADS), “Introduction to Safety, Health and Environment in the Oil and Gas Industries,” took place this past April at the Central University of Ecuador campus in Quito.
The event received the support and sponsorship of outstanding oil companies and service providers for the hydrocarbon sector, such as: Halliburton, Repsol, Shushufindi Consortium, Tuscany, Schlumberger, Tecpetrol, Sertecpet, Orion Energy and Baker Hughes. It also counted with the participation of students and faculty members from the School of Geology, Mining, Oil and Environmental Engineering from the Central University of Ecuador.
